Cheesy Vegetable Pasta
These days Nehal is back from tennis class earlier than usual since he’s scheduled for late afternoon class this winter season. Usual dinner time is 6.45 pm but with change in schedule, dinner has to be served by 6.15 pm since he’s home hungry and asks for something to eat as soon as he enters the home. Yesterday, I made vegetable pasta for his dinner.
